Another heads up that I will be away for the next ~2.5 weeks, so replies may be slow or intermittent. I'll do my best to reply to any posts that have not yet been answered, but it may take a few days if no other crew are available.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sorry, I think I meant to post that reply in a different thread..though I think it mostly applies here. Wouldn't have been a rejection for me, but I can kind of see why it might have been for someone else. Newer version slightly soft, but also ok for me....

[dlowwa]

No halos on the first, but other two still present. Contrast borderline at best. The cropped rotors are ok for me, but others might not like that....

[dlowwa]

Needs CW rotation....

Contrast looks better. Still light halo, but might not matter.

No specific 'checklist' when editing, each image is adjusted as needed individually, but generally:

Exposure/WB adjustment -> Convert to jpeg -> centering/cropping/levelling -> sharpening/contrast -> resize for upload....

[dlowwa]

Borderline for me, but soft enough for the two screeners who screened it. Not much chance of a successful appeal, imho....

[dlowwa]

Overprocessed, soft, borderline contrast....

[dlowwa]

Soft, but obstructed so doesn't really matter....

[dlowwa]

I would be ok for me, so pretty decent chance....

1. soft, contrast, dirty
2. soft, contrast...

LIght halo still visible along top of fuselage. Contrast also slightly weaker, and blue-ish tint. Tools are on the image page once uploaded, but any issue should be visible without using them to cause a rejection, i.e. they are used for guidance only, not to determine if an image should be accepted or not....

3. yellow tint, light editing halo around tail. I doubt the softness is fixable.
4-5. dull contrast due to overcast/hazy conditions (fuselages should be white, not gray). Not fixable....

[dlowwa]

1. soft/blurry, noisy
2. ok for me
3. soft, color, contrast, overprocessed
4-5. contrast, borderline heat haze

[dlowwa]

Chance, yes....

[dlowwa]

Can only guess, but it seems the originals might be soft themselves. You can try to hide this with careful editing and lower resolutions, but it would be more work than simply starting with a sharp image. Post one of the originals (unedited) if you'd like confirmation of the starting quality....

[dlowwa]

Images are soft and noisy....

[dlowwa]

No....

[dlowwa]

Screener who rejected it said it was for the banding in the sky, not any halos....
